Utah Advance Health Care Directives

A living will is a declaration that directs the kind of medical care a person wants in the event that person suffers from a terminal condition. Most people understand this document as giving a person the ability to withhold or withdraw life-prolonging procedures; a person may also execute a living will expressing that he or she wants life-prolonging procedures. This prevents family members from getting permission to withdraw life support even though there may not be a written declaration stating that life support should be withdrawn.

There are many benefits to family members from the execution of a living will. For instance, having a valid living will in place removes the decisions from family members who may be conflicted on the best course of action.
